For the last six seasons Wilbraham Farms have run a LEXION 670 with 9.3m VARIO cutterbar but this year that’s been replaced by a brand new 6900, again with a 9.3m VARIO.
The appetite of the new combine is seriously impressive. In typical 9t/ha crops of wheat where the 670 was doing 35-45 tonnes an hour, the 6900 will comfortably romp on at 50-60 tonnes and spot rates regularly exceed 75 tonnes.
We’ve stuck with CLAAS because we’ve always been so well looked after by our dealer MANNS. Their main depot is very close by, but more important than that, they’re so much better staffed with more knowledgeable people than other dealers.
